Chattanooga has seen multiple shootings that have left at least three people dead, including two at the same address, over the course of two days.

One man – 23-year-old Jaylon Hill – is in custody in connection with at least one of the shootings. Chattanooga police have not confirmed whether the two incidents at the same address are connected. But they have confirmed one of the victims is a family member to Hill.

According to Hamilton County court records, police were called to a local hospital after Timothy Taylor, 38, arrived with a gunshot wound to the head shortly after 9 p.m. on Monday.

He’d been shot while in a vehicle, and medical personnel told police he was in critical condition. He died shortly thereafter.

A witness told police Taylor had gone to a home in the 1700 block of South Willow Street to collect some money from a man named “Stew.” Once he got there, a man in a toboggan hat and a red jacket, later identified as Hill, approached the vehicle, records show.
